Audio Monitoring - CH1 in both L&R. Is this possible?

Hi,

I struggled the other day to monitor a merged mono mix from CH1 XLR to both the L & R channel of the headphones. Basically, just listen to one mic in both my ears.

I'm not with the camera now but wanted to double check this is possible. Monitoring CH1 only in my left ear would drive me mad. I want to leave CH2 as the internal mic to capture a bit of extra ambience etc. but don't want to listen to it. The lav on the presenter is the all important mic.

Thanks all!

Torsten.
 
I. Wish. So far I haven't seen such an option. Maybe Barry Green has an answer on that one, perhaps a later firmware update? Now that picture has been more or less sorted, at least in terms of baked in looks, I think audio should be next on the list.
 
At this time, I'm not aware of any option that allows you to change the monitoring capabilities. Often times I'll shoot stuff in split track giving the customer a lav in channel 1 and an on camera shotgun in channel 2 for backup. This isn't a deal breaker for me but just a little inconvenient to monitor with one ear. With over the head phones it's a little awkward but with ear buds it's not a big deal. Would be nice to have this changed but I don't expect that we will see that as part of a firmware upgrade.
